YEah- the first story was about the biologist who went to catalogue the specimens at that weird house full of upper class loonies- the second story was about spiritualism and was kind of boring. The movie Angels and Insects was also very good. I liked it as much as the book but in a different way.

Hi CB, that story about Madame Lalaurie is interesting. Do you know of Andrei Codrescu? He is from Romania and teaches at LSU. You may have heard his commentary on NPR. He is steeped in the lore of Romania, he's written of the Dracula legends and of Vlad the Impaler. He's been at LSU since the early 80's I believe, and probably knows of the Madame Lalaurie story. If not, I'm sure he'd like to know, it seems right up his alley. His literary journal is called Exquisite Corpse. I'll bet he would respond if he was dropped an e-mail: codrescu.com Here's the URL for his journal: corpse.org Even if he doesn't know anything, he might steer you to where you can find research material.
